At TDS Speech, we believe that families deserve clear, evidence-based information to guide important decisions about health, development, and community care.
We proudly stand on the side of science—supporting research, listening to experts, and advocating for practices that protect and empower families. This includes our strong support for vaccinations, which remain one of the most effective tools in protecting public health and creating safer communities for everyone. We feel this pertains exponentially more to the vulnerable and sometimes medically fragile children and families in our care.
Science is not about fear—it’s about FACTS, discovery, and informed choices. At TDS Speech, we strive to help families cut through misinformation, access reliable knowledge, and make decisions with confidence. By grounding our work in research and compassion, we ensure that programming, advocacy, and education truly meet the needs of children, adults, and families navigating communication and social learning.
Presently, research is being ignored and the conversation is shifting blame directly onto mothers. That’s harmful and untrue and more than a little disturbing. Autism is not caused by Tylenol use—it’s a multifactorial condition influenced by genetics and biology. Our Mamas are warriors spending hours upon hours supporting programming and doing whatever is needed for their children to succeed. We strongly and wholeheartedly denounce this baseless research and we stand with our TDS Moms and mothers everywhere. Stop. Blaming. Women. Just stop. Mothers deserve support—not baseless guilt rooted in misinformation. Let’s focus on facts, not fear.
We encourage all families to follow the research when making medical decisions that impact your children and our community at large. We must stand together against disinformation that can harm the most vulnerable among us. This moment is a call to conscience.
